Swallow the Sea combines Feeding Frenzy with fetuses | PC Gamer - butlermiltured
Dodge undersea prehensile penises with dentition in Swallow the Sea
There's a strange subgenre of videogames that I call "fleshy bummer-horror." These games thrive on unnatural, sum-filled brutalism: The floors and walls writhe, blood flows freely, and the chance of catching necrotising fasciitis is admittedly high. Call up Carrion's unrelenting blob, or Constipating of Isaac's matricide.
Swallow the Sea is the latest in that growing descent of visually-gross games that are as unsettling as they are risible. IT rose direct the ranks on itch.Io on a "pay what you wishing" basis before hitting Steam clean for unconfined last month to spook out even Thomas More people.
In a brief 15-minute run, you start your life as an undersea fertilized ovum and gradually explore the surrounding waters, which are pregnant of smaller lifeforms to course on, and even Sir Thomas More that want to feed on you. It's the fish-eat-Fish formula of Eating Craze, but with skull-visaged eels and avaricious twist-things grabbing at you with uncannily human teeth.
Those queerly phallic predators aren't the only discomforting aspect of Live with the Sea's ocean sprightliness. Pretty apace, your undersea dwelling house shifts from rocky passageways to fleshy, rotted tunnel after fleshy, rotted tunnel. It's clear that whatever world that exists supra these waters is increasingly air sick, and in the eyes of some larger lifeform, I'm just a parasite. It's unchaste to imagine Deglutition the Sea taking rank in poisoned waters used for waste dumping, filled with the decaying remains of animals who had no chance of surviving. It's lamentably an all-too-common sight in the modern age.
The star of the point is well a giant purple man-faced worm named Orro. Non since Sega's Seaman has a fish ever been so unsettling, and yet, I give the sack't blame the bountiful guy for needing a repast. I just wish he didn't need to chase me from hidey hole to hidey hole Mr X style while chomping his big buck teeth at my hide. I also bottom't blame him because frankly, I'm committing the same form of friendly fire inherent in every Feeding Frenzy game, feeding smaller versions of my brethren and eventually turning my predators into an evening snack. Really, I'm just the favourable one who managed to mouse the biggest meals before animation gets me.
I won't spoil it outright here, but rest assured that Swallow the Sea keeps up that brutally point-blank nihilism to the very end of your brief life. Food chains make to end somewhere.
Information technology's free-soil happening Steam now, and at a brisk 15 minutes, IT's a corking way to construct you palpate equivalent you just saw something you shouldn't have. The developers' first game, Perfect Vermin, evokes similar "what the hell" feelings, and IT's free, too.
